Why it works
The photo comes out on paper within a few seconds and can be given away, stuck on a folder or pinned to the corkboard, which a phone cannot offer. The flash and exposure adjust themselves, so there is nothing to learn, and it has a selfie lens. At 9 or 10 it is a grown-up gift.
Our verdict
One of the safest choices for a First Communion, especially if you add a couple of film cartridges. For under-7s, a tough children's camera is better.
They will like it if
- they decorate their room with photos
- they meet up with friends and want keepsakes
- they do not have a mobile phone yet
Bear in mind
- the box does not include film, according to the listing: it has to be bought separately
- every photo costs money and the first cartridge is gone in an afternoon
